Man Sentenced In Snoring Dispute Death

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia man has been sentenced to jail time after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the stabbing death of a neighbor following a dispute that authorities said was over loud snoring. Fifty-six-year-old Christopher Casey of Upper Morland was sentenced last week in Montgomery County Court to 11½ to 23 months in county jail. He was originally charged with third-degree murder in the Jan. 14 death of 62-year-old Robert Wallace. Relatives of the victim said he had been unable to sleep due to the noise and his fatigue had affected his life and ability to work. Casey apologized to them in court, calling the fatal argument “unfortunate.”
